What is Microsoft Copilot and where do you find it?
I think it is confusing to read about the different versions of Copilot. I imagine you might too. So I found this article that I think is useful.
Updated November 15, 2023: To simplify the user experience and make Copilot more accessible to everyone, Bing Chat and Bing Chat Enterprise will now simply become Microsoft Copilot. Learn more.
Today, at Microsoft Inspire 2023, we announced the next steps in our journey to empower every person on the planet to work in a new AI-powered way.
First, we’re significantly expanding Bing to reach new audiences with Bing Chat Enterprise, delivering AI-powered chat for work, and rolling out today in preview, which means that more than 160 million people already have access. Second, to help commercial customers plan, we’re sharing that Microsoft 365 Copilot will be priced at USD30 per user, per month for Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard, and Business Premium customers when broadly available; we’ll share more on timing in the coming months. Third, we’re announcing Microsoft Sales Copilot—a role-based copilot for sales professionals to increase productivity and personalize every customer interaction so they can close more deals.
Bing Chat Enterprise gives your organization AI-powered chat for work with commercial data protection. With Bing Chat Enterprise, user and business data are protected and will not leak outside the organization. What goes in—and comes out—remains protected. Chat data is not saved, and Microsoft has no eyes-on access, which means no one can view your data. And, your data is not used to train the models. Whether researching industry insights, analyzing data, or looking for inspiration, Bing Chat Enterprise gives people access to better answers, greater efficiency, and new ways to be creative.
Just like Bing Chat, Bing Chat Enterprise is grounded in web data and provides complete, verifiable answers with citations, along with visual answers that include graphs, charts, and images, and is designed in line with our AI principles.

Introducing Microsoft Sales Copilot
We’re also introducing Microsoft Sales Copilot, a new role-based copilot designed to be a seller’s companion and save them time with CRM task automation, identify top sales opportunities with AI-powered real-time insights, and allow sellers to cut the busy work, connect to actionable insights, and close more deals.
Copilot in Teams chat helps you quickly get up-to-speed and synthesize key information across all your Teams chat threads. Using natural language, you can ask Copilot questions about your chats and get a summary of key decisions. Copilot efficiently summarizes and recaps chats, enabling you to cut through the volume of chats to focus on the most important parts of chat discussions.
